When heatingwith lean gas a pair of regenerators'f will}. at":v any moment, eitherv both serve to pre-heat'orboth beheated by exhaust gases. Thus, for example, if the regenerator 4 is serving to pre-heat lean gas, the companion regenerator 3, being opposite it, will serve to pre-heatair,

while the regenerators 3a and 4a separated from them by the gas tight supportingwalls 5,

both be heated by exhaust gases." g

The air for the regeneratorsis' supplied from reversing members 7 through sole channels 6,

always from one side of iahe oiren,the case of the construction illustrated from the left hand side, while the lean gas to be pre-heatedis sup-v plied from the other side, i. e. in this case, from theright hand side, fromthe lean gas-:conduit 8,

Each regenerator'is provided with an extension passage passing scissorwise the 3 corresponding extension passage of the companion regenerator and. lying. above said. companion regenerator.

Each of the vertical flues llain the left hand half of the wall as shown in Figure .1, communicates directly with a regeneratora3 through passages. 15,-.and-also throughv passages 13 and the extension passage 14 with a-r'egenerator .4. Similarly 'the passage's. 11a in the right-handhalf of the wall also .comm'unicate'with both regenr erators 3 and 4.by. means respectively'of passages 17 and-the extension 16 and direct passages 12. Similarly. eachjof the flues..11b,-communicates with a pair of regenerators-3a and-4a situated (in .Figure 1) behind the regenerators 3. and 4. Thus, in the left-hand half of the .wall, flues 11b communicate with regenerator. 3a directly through passages'18 and. with regenerator .411

On heatingthe ovenwithrichgases, air for combustion will pass through both the regenerators 3 and 4; or after reversal both the regenerators 3a and 4a. .The rich gas will thenbe suppliedthrough supply .conduit's122 arranged on.

passing over the oven chambers. given heating wall, all the flues have gas flowing ashes with pairs oftfiues either side of the oven battery to the heating flues 11a through the channels 23 in one working stage, and in the other working stage to the heating flues 11b through the channels 24.

The oven shown in Figures 3 and 4 is, in many respects, similar to that shown in Figures 1 and i 2. -"I'he chief difference, however," is {that of a pair of heating flues 29 and 36, one is in a heating .wall on one side of an oven chamber, and the "other is in a heating wall on the other side of the oven chamber, and they communicate by means of circulating channels 28 in the oven roof Thus, in a either downwardly or upwardly in them.

In theleft-handhalf ;of Figure 3, the flues 36 communicate directly with; the regenerator 3a through passages 33 and also through pasages 32 and anextension passage with the regenerator 4a. In the right-hand half, of the wall the flues 36 communicate .directly through passages with the regeneratorAa and with the regenerator 3a through passages and an extension passage 34. The flues 29of a neighbouring heating wall communicate similarly with regenerators 3 and 4, I claim:
